Detroit ice cream store won't serve police in body armor
FOX2 Detroit ^ | July 1, 2022 | Robin Murdoch and Jack Nissen

A Detroit ice cream store said it will deny service to police officers if they are wearing tactical body armor.

Cold Truth Soft Serve, located at 4240 Cass Avenue, posted a photo on social media of a Detroit police cruiser parked in front of their shop with the caption, "We can tolerate the parking however you please but we will not serve anyone wearing body armor."

The owner, Tim Mahoney, released a statement defending the vegan establishment, which he said prides itself on being a family and community business.

"There are times when police units come through and are outfitted in heavy-duty tactical gear, it is disturbing and unsettling for some of the families in our space. In the last 24 hours, It has come to my attention that the City of Detroit outfits EMS and FIRE with armor, and this is not my concern. It’s the heavy-duty military dress that I’m hoping the city can find a way to minimize in our public spaces."

Hey 2 banana. There are cities in this country where the police MUST wear body armor. Armor is a working requirement.
I wouldn’t want to be in a police uniform in New York or Chicago without it. (and think about Baltimore!)

The owner, Tim Mahoney,

Poor thing.

He was probably born with a silver dildo in his mouth.

If crime is this bad in a city where no one is allowed to have a gun, imagine what it is like in flyover country where guns are plentiful. /s

So when these idiots get robbed at gun point no cops should show up to protect them.

“There is no reason for a cop to be dressed up like special forces. I can see how it would be intimidating.”

WTF!?! If your occupation required you to leave your family every morning/night, and potentially be shot/killed (with most likely an illegal weapon), and/or assaulted, wouldn’t you find it reasonable to protect yourself with any means available? The Dem run cities are an absolute shit show, and the fact that you can see how their protective gear “would be intimidating”, speaks volumes, and tells me all I need to know about you.
With that mindset, why are you on this board?
